Here is a much more affordable one. This one is in an MS-64 holder. I built sort of an "economy set" back in the day. When you are a dealer you can only take so much. So people don't think you should anything at all, but I think that a reference set is a good way to keep your grading eye grounded.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals.

I have always liked the Lincoln commem. for me it is rare as commemorative coins go because I think the design of both sides is really, really nice. President Lincoln's portrait is especially well done, he's younger, has a very pensive expression and doesn't yet appear to be "aged" by the office. as everyone's pictures show, this particular coin is likely to be found very nice. I haven't yet bought one. it seems every time I try I'm beaten back.
Mark, I would like to say the coins you posted are very nice, the texture of that Missouri is exquisite!!!!

Beautiful coin to collect
I bid on that but it went for more than I wanted to spend at the time.
A somewhat affordable one:

This has to be the best looking commem I've ever seen on cu.
Commems are generally cheap but the ones I’d want to own are still quite pricey

Paying "too much" is very educational.

One of my favorite coins...

No color to speak of, but I've always liked the coin.
great thread & commems, thanks for sharing.
I also enjoy collecting the medals and brochures that go with the coin and celebrations.
